Document Title Reference Number Cleaning and Preparation of Application Substrates Technical Bulletin #1.1 Removal of self-adhesive films Technical Bulletin #1.2 Cleaning and maintenance of Avery Dennison decals and Graphics Technical Bulletin #1.6 Application Instructions for Avery Dennison Supreme Wrapping Film Technical Bulletin #3.12 Durability of Avery Dennison Graphics Films Instructional Bulletin #1.30EU Application: Avery Dennison Supreme Wrapping Film is designed for application on to solid surfaces such as passenger vehicles and buses. Important Note: Never use a wet application method to apply this film. Some slight color shift may occur between rolls or lots, therefore, minimizing the mixing of rolls/lots on a specific vehicle is encouraged. If multiple rolls are needed be sure to use only rolls from the same production lot. All vehicle substrates must be cleaned according to Avery Dennison recommended cleaning practices as outlined in TB # 1.1 Cleaning and Preparation of Application Substrates. Due to the unique finish and manufacturing process of metallic and pearlescent films, variances in color can be visible when the material is oriented in different directions. When utilizing metallic, pearlescent and ColorFlow films, always keep the application direction of the film consistent with the orientation of the film when cut from the roll and applied to the vehicle. One roll should be used per vehicle, wherever possible to minimize any possible color shifts between rolls or lots. See TB 3.12 Application Instructions for Supreme Wrapping Film for complete application recommendations. For cleaning and care recommendations see TB 1.6. Important Note: Only use Avery Dennison recommended cleaning products and solutions. Cleaning and maintenance products should conform to the following: Free from abrasive components Ideally ph balanced, thus not highly acidic or alkaline (ph level between 5 and 9) Free from alcohols (non isopropyl), acids, ammonia, chlorine, glycol ethers, harmful detergents, petroleum distillates and phosphates Page 3 of 5

Other factors which may reduce the durability of this product series include: surface texture, surface preparation, application methods, angle and direction of sun, environmental conditions, cleaning & maintenance. Products containing petroleum distillates or solvents such as, soaps, waxes, or protective coatings, void any warranty, and may cause premature failure of the material. Matte finished materials are subject to extreme color and gloss shift when exposed to cleaners, wax, and polish. Test an inconspicuous area prior to using any cleaners, wax, and polish. The end user assumes complete responsibility to ensure that matte finishes are not affected during cleaning or protecting.
